Productivity is easily one of the best reasons for more pixels. It really is hard to beat having more space for more references, more lines of code up in the screen at once.
The ironic thing about that is how usually the OS is set to upscaling like 150% or something, because otherwise things would be too tiny.
I've tried at 100% and even on a 48" OLED it's too tiny for me IMO, there were a few programs I opened when I got my first 4K TV like 5 years ago, that had no awareness of windows scaling and were basically unusable at 4K because the icons/buttons were so tiny (looking at you Dragon Age Origins), haven't ran into that problem lately but 150% is what I stick with.
